The key is to maximize the growth and thickness of your desired forage in order to choke out the unwanted weeds. When reading your soil test P-I should be greater than 50 and soil pH should read 6.0-7.0 depending on your crop. Studies have shown that application of both Lime and Phosphorus together will dramatically reduce Broomsedge populations better than applying on or the other. Most commonly used is granular Ag Lime which can be purchased in bulk forms for relatively cheap around $10-$15 a ton depending on your relative location to the distributor. Calcium carbonate is what we typically refer to as Lime and can be found in various forms. If not then you will need to apply both Phosphorus and Calcium Carbonate. You can apply whats needed based on your soil test and watch the Broomsedge disappear. If you are missing one or the other then you have already won half of the battle. If your fields are wrapped up in Broomsedge you will likely find that you are missing two key nutrients Phosphorus and Calcium Carbonate.

Soil samples will allow us to review our current soil health and to see exactly what is recommended to apply for optimum growth of our forage. So our first step in the removal of this noxious weed is to take soil samples. With little to no nutritive value Broomsedge does not offer us much potential for forage and has little value in any of our pastures or hay fields. Here in NC and many other places around the country, Broomsedge is a common noxious weed that thrives in low fertility soils. The answer lies in soil health practices. One of the most frequently asked questions from livestock owners and hay producers is “how do I get rid of all this Broomsedge/Broomstraw?” While this can be a loaded question there really is a simple answer.
